Legal Size Gray File Folders, Reinforced 1/3-Cut Tab - 100 Box

In this review the Smead legal size gray file folders are presented as a practical choice for offices and home filing systems that need durable, color-coordinated organization. The box of 100 folders stands out for its reinforced two-ply tabs and sturdy 11 point paper stock, which deliver extra strength for frequently accessed files. For anyone who uses drawer filing or needs consistent tab placement, this pack is a straightforward solution that keeps documents tidy and easy to retrieve.

Key Features

• Legal size dimensions: The folders measure 14-5/8 in W x 9-1/2 in H overall, providing full legal document coverage for neat storage.
• Reinforced tabs: Two-ply reinforced 1/3-cut top tabs resist tearing and hold printed or handwritten labels securely over time.
• Durable stock: 11 point paper stock gives these folders a firm feel that helps protect papers and withstand daily handling.
• Color coding: The gray color helps create a consistent filing scheme and can be mixed with other colors for quicker retrieval.
• Bulk box: A box of 100 folders keeps a steady supply on hand for busy offices or recurring projects without frequent reordering.
• Sustainable sourcing: Made in the USA with 10% recycled content and SFI Sourcing Certification for more responsible purchasing.

Who It's For

These folders are best for administrative staff, small business owners, legal professionals, and homeowners who maintain a physical filing system and need long-lasting tabs for frequent access. The reinforced tab construction makes them ideal where documents are pulled and refiled often, such as active case files, client records, or recurring bill files.

Those looking for specialty materials like plastic or waterproof folders, or people who need custom printed branding on tabs, should look elsewhere. If a small, desktop-only pack is preferred instead of a bulk box, a smaller-count option may be a better fit.
